In order to make sure that your WebQuest stays aligned with your unit, you will need to copy and paste 3 things from your Stages 1 and 2 from Dr. Grace's wiki onto this page. (This will also help Dr. Theresa give you better feedback on your Intro, Task, and Conclusion.) Then you will write your first drafts of your Introduction and Conclusion.
G.R.A.S.P.S
Goal
Your task is to create an informational presentation about the process of skydiving.
Role
You are a sports science analyst.
Audience
Your client is the CEO of British Association of Sports and Exercises Sciences (BASES).
Situation
The challenge involves dealing with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.
Product & Performance
You will create a Nearpod presentation in order to present your calculations to the CEO of BASES.
Understanding(s)
•linear functions are used to resolve real world issues. •different types of quadratics represent real world issues. •exponential functions are different than other functions
Introduction
In the real world, there are so many different components of linear, quadratic, and exponential models. Take a moment to think of your favorite hobby or activity and try to relate it to each of the components. Get creative--there may be a lot of different options that may not seem applicable right off. Once you feel confident that you have several ideas, you will use these later on in the WebQuest to complete your task.
Task
In an attempt to get more students to participate in activities, the CEO of BASES (British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences) has asked you, a sports science analyst, to create an informational presentation about an activity for students. This information is going to be brought into school to show students to increase their interest in activities. Your job, as a sports science analyst, is to examine the basic linear, quadratic, and exponential functions involved with an activity of your choice. You must present this information in a way that is informative, engaging, and tasteful to the CEO of Bases and the students. It is important that you provide appropriate examples of how each activity represents the three functions in order to make the presentation educational. Using a Nearpod presentation, illustrate the different mathematical components involved with your activity. Pitch this presentation to the CEO of BASES for approval.
Conclusion
Now that you know how linear, quadratic, and exponential functions relate to your hobby of choice, start thinking about how they might be all around you everyday. The purpose of this WebQuest was to get you thinking about how you might see these models in the real world, and how you might use them to help you resolve real world situations. Go forth, frolic, and prosper from the information you have learned.
